Take away the keys that you don’t need or use often and place keys where they are easiest to reach. You can put the escape key next to the space-bar or put function keys closer to your reach when using your favourite program.

The Puzzle Keyboard should be especially useful for people who have sustained finger injuries or put together to provide wrist relief. The keyboard can also be built to interact with mobile devices and the personalised arrangements are supposed to provide the user with more efficient typing.
